It would simplify the Ubuntu user's life GREATLY if they had easy access to a Windows VM that can synchronize their files to and fro (Guest additions) and not require a reboot to use it. Modern computers have more than enough power to do something like this, and it should be even easier if the system is using a dedicated virtual machine environment rather than a full blown desktop. This can transform LightDM from being just another login screen to a full-blown glorified host for all of your operating systems and remote logins. I think this would make using Ubuntu a LOT less of a hassle for the new user who came from Windows :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1077806/+subscriptions
